MacKenzie Doubles Down On Trump

I was surprised to see the Trump meme on Mackenzie's Facebook feed. While I have been recommending that the Congressman speak out against Trump, I figured that he would just quietly promote himself, with little to no mention of Trump. 

Could Trump be more popular here in the Valley and Poconos than I realize? I don't think so .Is it possible that Mackenzie thinks that the President's agenda is wonderful?

While Mackenzie's Democratic opponent is yet unknown, it is known that it will be a very expensive election. In addition to maintaining a majority in the house, Trump is concerned about impeachment. I'll speculate that Ryan is going for the campaign money, and likely Trump himself campaigning for him.

  1. Maybe Mackenzie is simply able to filter out the noise and rationally concluded that Trump has made great progress on the problems that he inherited and is moving the country in positive direction.

    While anti-Trump partisans will always find something to complain about, I don’t think that’s arguable and Trump’s successes go far beyond the 5 mentioned in the Trump meme on Mackenzie’s Facebook feed.

  2. Apparently that is Mackenzie's calculation. I think that in a purple district he made a mistake. Trump's on a victory lap, which I don't think most voters understand or share.

    Tiring comments about TDS will not appear.

  3. Is it OK to post your daily musings are illogical and misinformed?

  4. Mike who or what ever is going to be the Democrat rep will just be another do nothing gypsy carpetbagger. We don't need another self absorbed pos representative stealing from the USA publics public needs.

  5. While many have lots to question about Trumps agenda, only now 1 year along, where is the viable alternative? Domestically, they are all the same as Biden and in foreign policy they will do as they are told and could be worse than Trump. Face it, the country is screwed.

    1. Ray - Some excellent points there.

      The democrats offer nothing new. The newly elected democrat Governor just signed off on a laundry list of far-left policies during her first week in office. Naturally, she ran as a “moderate” to get elected, but quickly has shown us what she is. That’s the same playbook they’ll use here.

      Personally, I like not having to take out a second mortgage to fill up my gas tank and buy a dozen eggs at the store.

      I realize people might not like Trump’s style, but to me that’s irrelevant. Trump is right in policy, and we’re FAR better off than if the democrats were in control.

  6. Ray, If you mean our Representatives and Senators are all the same, I completely agree! In America now, we do not have a traditional 2-party government. We have what some are calling one, big UniParty made up of both Democrats and Republicans.

    Our Congress works together to maintain the status quo. Their common goal is to REMAIN IN OFFICE. They’ll do whatever it takes, including lying, taking payoffs, and back-stabbing. Some will even get involved in criminal behavior.

    President Trump is very much in the way of these mischievous grifters. He is the best weapon of resistance we have right now.

    Yes, our country is screwed.

  7. anon@6:55: If you signed your name at the beginning, middle and end of your comments, it couldn't be more obvious who you are. Your partisan is rather notorious, even in Republican circles. I wonder who you are preaching to? There are no undecided about Trump, only one year in. Already Trump has weaponized the Federal government against New Jersey. Those blatant actions are not appreciated by the public, or the swing voters you need for 2026. I will no longer be advising MacKenzie to speak out, he has cast his lot.
